Downfall of a Salvage King: Drew Pritchard Sells Off His Entire Collection After Scandal and Divorce 💥 From fame to heartbreak — the beloved Salvage Hunters icon just auctioned every last relic of his empire for $800,000, closing the door on decades of triumph. Once the face of British restoration, he’s now walking away from the spotlight — and from the life that made him a legend.
In a shocking turn of events, Drew Pritchard, the beloved star of “Salvage Hunters,” has auctioned off his entire personal collection, a staggering 620 pieces, for a total of $800,000, marking the end of an era for the architectural salvage icon.

At a packed auction house in London, the air was thick with emotion as collectors and fans gathered to bid on items that once filled Pritchard’s life with purpose and passion. Among the treasures were a 1930 fairground boat that fetched $7,000 and a piece linked to Sir Malcolm Campbell’s legendary Bluebird project, which sold for an impressive $17,000. However, for Drew, this was not merely a financial transaction; it was a bittersweet farewell to old friends and memories that shaped his journeyBorn in 1970 in Conwy, North Wales, Drew’s fascination with salvaging began in childhood, inspired by his grandfather’s tales of hidden treasures. What started as a childhood obsession transformed into a thriving career, as Pritchard became a household name in the world of antiques. Yet, the pressures of fame took their toll. A high-profile affair, public altercations, and a bitter divorce from his wife Rebecca, who was instrumental in building his brand, have overshadowed his successes.
